I send her videos, articles..... but she concluded that she will continue to have milk(she is Non-Veg still, but would like to become a Vegetarian someday but not a Vegan)! Hello Ed,

Thanks for the nice reply above.I had almost a same argument from a friend! she was telling me that milk and water are the only two things that we get without torturing any creature! I send her videos, articles….. but she concluded that she will continue to have milk(she is Non-Veg still, but would like to become a Vegetarian someday but not a Vegan)!

On the assumption that other omnis may be reading this let me once again highlight the flaws: 1. Whether or not it is possible to raise & kill animals without suffering, that is NOT what is happening in the meat industry today. The suffering animals undergo to prodice meat, eggs, dairy is immense and inexcusable. It is delusional to pretend that the meat you eat came from "loved and cared for" animals. 2. Plants do not have nervous systems or brains. But even if they could feel pain, the number of plants killed to produce a meat based diet is many times larger than the number killed for a vegan diet. The animals must produce and maintain bones, fur, ears, colon, blood, lungs, tendons, and especially metabolic processes; these all require plant food and as far as I know no human eats them. We only consume the muscles which represent only a small part of the plants that the animal ate. I always hope these bankrups old arguments will fade away but people seem to cling to them. Not sure why. As a denial mechanism maybe? I come across these same stale arguments from omnivores all the time.

Additionally, I'm guessing that your knowledgeable to the fact that plant life exists in the same manner that animal life exists. Plants breath, breed, require air and food to survive, and also respond to emotion. They also bleed, starve, drown, and die, just like animals. But it's ok to grow acres and acres of crops, with the sole purpose being to chop it down with massive machinery, and then cut it into to tiny pieces. If mass production and slaughter of plant life is ok simply because you can't hear plants scream, and can't measure the pain they're in based on physiological data when their killed, then put a mussel on cows and stop being a hypocrite. Don't make omnivores look bad, just because you're not in tune enough with nature and plant life to recognize it's pain.
